The Fallout of Twitter Censorship and Musk's Actions

The investigation into the Twitter censorship of the New York Post story on Hunter Biden's laptop did not yield the expected evidence. Instead, it revealed Twitter employees debating how to handle the story and President Trump. Elon Musk, who had hyped the investigation, fell out with the investigators after expressing his views on Twitter's treatment of journalists. The subsequent stories primarily focused on government agencies reaching out to Twitter, highlighting a concerning coziness between Twitter and the government. This was not picked up by traditional media outlets. The fallout stretched to Elon Musk's actions towards Substack, a platform used by one of the investigators, leading to the mysterious disappearance of the investigator's stories from Twitter. Musk ultimately moved on from the investigation and felt shadow-banned on Twitter, expressing disappointment in the outcome and questioning Musk's commitment to free speech.
